Post by Brian GaffCould these results really be showing life?
There is still at least microbial life on Mars, but there is not and has
not been any significant peroxide in the soil. It is flat out impossible
for peroxide to exist in the Martian soil for one very transparent reason.
Roughly half of the salt they detected is iron sulfate.
Iron sulfate immediately destroys hydrogen peroxide, meaning that other
peroxides cannot have formed. The source of the peroxides is supposedly
hydrogen peroxide formed in the atmosphere through UV or electrical action.
They claim that it literally snows out on the ground when formed and then
soaks into the soil. Sorry, they are feeding you a load of crap.
Try it. Go to the chemistry department of a school, or a fertilizer
store, or anywhere you can get iron sulfate. Get some hydrogen peroxide.
Now, put some peroxide in a clear glass cup where you can see it and add
just a pinch of iron sulfate. It can be known as jarosite or melanterite or
just plain iron sulfate. Watch what happens.
Immediately, the material turns from pale yellow to bright orange brown,
and the bubbling starts. You are seeing the oxidation of the iron compound
and the release of gaseous oxygen. DO NOT USE peroxide of more than 3%-5%
or you will have a real problem. Can you say explosion?
The fact is, there is almost zero oxygen in the Martian atmosphere, so
this reaction cannot be happening- we do not see any evolved oxygen from the
reaction of this hypothetical peroxide and the iron sulfate which is proven
to be in the soil. Therefore, something is seriously wrong with what they
have told us.
So either nobody in NASA has a clue about basic inorganic chemistry, or
they are lying. There are no two ways about it. Peroxide on Mars is flat
out impossible, based on their own data. Peroxide was not and has never
been possible, as long as there was ever a slight presence of iron sulfate
salt in the Martian soil.
